Blackwell has been the subject of some media attention due to the contamination of soil and ground water that occurred after zinc smelting was prominent in the economy. Even though most of this contamination has been contained today, there are still many people suffering. Sometimes people suffer not only with physical health, but mental health as well.
If you are having problems with your mental health or emotional well-being, it can be helpful to talk to someone outside the situation. Blackwell-area counselors are available now to offer this type of support. Contact a licensed therapist today for assistance.

Clint McKnight
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the State of Oklahoma. This licensure allows me to offer mental health counseling to individuals and families looking to reach their personal and professional goals. I graduated with a Master of Arts from Southern Nazarene University in Bethany, OK. I have 10+ years experience in mental health counseling. I utilize several approaches to therapy to best fit the individuals or families needs and am particularly focused on psychodynamic psychotherapy. It is particularly helpful in dealing with emotional strife or anxiety and a vehicle for gaining knowledge about or understanding oneself, which is key to personal growth. Emotional pain can come to us in many forms; Loss of trust, death of a loved one, fear, anxiety, depression, and many others things. Exploration of our patterns of relationships and personal knowledge are paramount to my approach to therapy. I would be glad to talk with you further if you have specific questions about my background.
